Buy Adult Bibs & Clothing Protectors - Washable and Disposable Bibs For Adults

   

What are Adult Bibs? 

Bibs are pieces of fabric or plastic fastened around the user’s neck to protect clothes from food stains and liquid spills while eating. Adult Bibs have the same function as babies' bibs; the only difference is size. Bibs are considered clothing protectors that fit around the front upper torso, allowing a more comfortable and neater eating experience.  

Rehab Store carries an extensive range of bibs that help protect the user against food and spilled beverages. Some adult bibs come with crumb catchers that keep food from falling onto the chair or floor. Bibs for adults are available in various materials, styles, and designs. 

Why use Bibs for Adults? 

Old age, medical conditions, and limited mobility can make the simple task of eating difficult. Eating can be messy for older adults. Seniors with dementia and Alzheimer's become confused about how to eat. It becomes hard to manipulate utensils and cut things with arthritis. Medical conditions such as stroke can cause difficulty in swallowing and chewing. People with Parkinson’s suffer from weak muscles and uncontrollable tremors. 

The above conditions can impact eating, and people often end up leaving their clothes covered with food stains and making quite a mess. Adult bibs provide a barrier from food and beverages spilling onto the clothes, protecting them and making mealtime easier to manage.

What should you look for when buying Bibs for Adults? 

  • Reusable vs. Disposable: The first thing to consider when buying the adult bib is whether you need a reusable or disposable one. Washable adult bibs are long-lasting and can be reused countless times. Disposable bibs can be conveniently thrown away after each use, saving the caregiver’s time and energy. People often choose washable bibs when at home and disposable ones when out of the house.  
  • Material: Fabric is another factor to consider when buying a bib. Bibs are usually made of terrycloth, polyester, flannel, denim, vinyl, etc. Cotton terry cloth is soft and easy to wash but will shrink, whereas polyester lasts long but is not as absorbent as cotton. Material selection should be based on the needs of the patient or the facility. 
  • Size: Bibs come in various sizes. Some offer full chest protection, while others are long enough to protect clothing neck-to-lap from food stains and liquid spills. The longer and wider the bib, the more protection one gets and the fewer chances of spillage soaking the clothes. You can choose the right size depending on the patient’s condition and personal preferences. 
  • Waterproof: Waterproof adult bibs are made from absorbent materials with a waterproof lining to prevent liquids from soaking into the clothes. If your loved ones shake a lot when holding cups or utensils, waterproof bibs can provide good protection for the clothing. 
  • Crumb Catchers: Some bibs have a pocket at the bottom that holds crumbs as they fall while eating. For messy eaters, bibs with crumb catchers are perfect. 
  • Closure Type: Adult bibs have different types of closures, such as hook and loop closure, knot button closure, snaps, and self-ties. Snaps can be challenging for people with diminishing strength and dexterity since they require little effort and precision to be closed. Hook and loop closure may be much easier to use for them. So, consider the closure type while buying bibs for your loved ones.
